Go to the News Stand page and click on the link below “Current issue”. Not sure if they’d like me to post a direct link to the file, so I won’t. It will be hosted at BlenderArt.org in a while.
Thank You. Thank You. You guys are awesome. Bless you.
This is one of the thousand reasons why I’m trying to stick with Blender. The learning resources are just awesome. One of these days I’m going to drop my other commercial packages. Frankly, after getting past Blender’s UI strange interface, I find that Blender is simpler and it’s just a joy to discover things that you never thought it’s there.
Dreamsgate, could you guys do a detailed tutorial on Blender’s hair in your next issue?
That’s good! I suggest that you include eyelashes and eyebrows. I just saw an eyelash tute here done in 3dsmax: http://www.3dm3.com/tutorials/eye/
Maybe there’s a Blender way. Looking forward to your next issue. In the meantime, I’ll have to digest every page that is in this mag’s 4th release. I’m going to enjoy it for sure. Once again, thank you.
What format is this in?
I downloaded it and it’s an Acrobat document…but Acrobat won’t open it!
It says “There was an error opening this document. This viewer cannot decrypt this document.”
I could open magazine #3. Why won’t this open?!?
Hi, Try to download at http://blenderart.org so we can track the downloads. And thanks Sutabi for mirroring once again. If you plan on keeping it mirrored for a long while, with your permission, i’d like to add your mirror to official site.
Lightspeed: have u downloaded the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader?
Once again, thank you.
